The LawyersUSA headline is contradicted by the text of the article. Stevens’ quoted statements: “I… don’t think there’s a chance in the world that it will affect his vote…You can’t help but wish that they had a lower profile,” cannot reasonably be interpreted as a defense of Thomas. At best it damns Thomas for different things.
